Papa rellena de Carne Asada | La Capital - Summary

Summary

The narrator begins by selecting large Rousset potatoes for baking. He emphasizes the importance of washing them thoroughly to remove any dirt. After washing, he leaves them to soak in water. While the potatoes soak, he turns on the grill and prepares a rich oil sauce using red jalapeños. He cooks the jalapeños on the grill, covers them, and leaves them to cook for about an hour. Once the jalapeños are cooked, he removes the stem and blends everything in a blender to create a creamy sauce.

While the jalapeños cook, he prepares the meat. He uses a boneless rib steak, seasoning it with salt and freshly ground pepper. He also cooks bacon in a frying pan over medium-low heat until it is well cooked.

After the jalapeños are cooked and the sauce is prepared, he wraps the potatoes in aluminum foil and places them on the grill. He then cooks the meat on the grill, turning it every few minutes until it is well-done. Once the potatoes and meat are cooked, he fills the potatoes with the meat and sauce, then covers them with mozzarella cheese. He finishes by adding a layer of bacon on top. The narrator serves the potatoes stuffed with roast beef, cheese, and bacon.
